It was fun being a part of this Sport Science shoot. I provided the TrackMan data for Bubba and Dustin. We also did a shoot with LPGA Tour Player Lexi Thompson and Long Drive Champion, Jamie Sadloski. Fun stuff!!!!

Least accurate driver in the Masters hit "only 60% of the fairways". Lol, "only 60%"... I'm lucky to hit 3 or 4 fairways a round, being like 25% max.

10 years later most pros are hitting it these same lengths. Even teenagers at local clubs are going past 300 yards.

I play golf to relax and drink beer with my bros, but when we play football its more than a game..its like a bad mark wahlberg movie.haha

Big hitters and it's freeking golf!

I was watching last year's Long Drive World Championship, and there was one guy who went so far back on his backswing, his driver was perpendicular to the ground... that shit was crazy

God they look so much younger here

If only DJ and Bubba had a baby.

they need to make one with Jamie Sadlowski

Look at Bubbas right foot after he hits it lol

my point being doesnt matter your size only thing that matter is ball contact and clubhead speed at the ball. bigger guys just create that clubhead speed with less effort

"Now we know how big these guys hit.. Let's see if they can shoot their driver with a crossbow at a moving wombat". Sports science logic

Doesn't hurt that dustins 6'4 and bubbas 6'3

watch the one on Rory McIlroy then

I didnt know who bubba watson was until he won the masters

The second slow motion of Dustin Johnson shows his hips rotating backward, about :10

I wish they could use my ex's face as a golf tee

Gary woodland, Bubba Watson, and Dustin Johnson are all pretty good basketball players. ( Gary Woodland played in college). Tiger is an amazing runner. Jason Dufner played baseball in college. Camillo villegas is a crazy biker. Most proffessional golfers are pretty good athletes.

big guys just create the clubhead speed with less effort because they have a wider width in the swing. they dont need the crazy hip speed if they both had the same hip speed yes the bigger player would hit it further. most of it has to do with consistency in hitting in the middle of clubface and launch angle.

0:06, Was that the OB drive that essentially sent DJ out of contention?

they should get rory after his latest 377 drive

Let's put Gary Woodland in here he's longer than two of these guys

yea but that would be interesting to see

bubba watson is the man!

Same principles.

he probably plays in his spare time....

Nice. "The ball is in contact with the clubhead for roughly half a millisec." Clock shows 5 millisecs.

AGREED!!

i have a huge head speed

and hipspeed/body speed this creates momentum...........you cannot argue with physics,a larger player such as else can swing slower and hit it the same distance.........swing speed sells drivers.......you need clubhead speed and body speed (hips) both rory and bubba use this.

golf boys mane.

bubba watson rocks!

i thought i was gonna see Ray Lewis or Polamalu :S

I came here for football big hitters lmao

My club speed is only around 80 MPH and the ball only goes around 110 MPH.

John daily should have Ben in here

Thanks for telling us what type of equipment their using. Maybe not share the brand, but at least length of shaft and flex of the shafts. epic fail.

What about Jamie Sadlowski?

should have brought in jamie sadlowski

bubba won today

his weight is 160 im not saying his swingspeed is 160... i now see that may be what it looked like what i was saying. but this guy is saying its not about clubhead speed but more about persons size and weight and thats what i was trying to point out

because its hard

Pssshhhh 120mph club head speed???..... that’s it??? My boy Byle Kirkshire getting 160-170mph club head speed.

well at least you weren't like me and thought it said "Big Hitlers"

I do.

go bubba!

@Diabeticfury what do u mean he isn't??

he has to generate extra swingspeed, to make up for his lack of bodymass, the smaller you are the faster you have to swing, BUT if you miss time it, you will lose the momentum from your body, you need that weight behind the ball and moving, he has an amazing technique probably the best out there, but he was beaten by a bigger guy with a lesser technique, due to bodymass.......it annoyed me when he was beat, because jamie was better, but he didn't have the mass,..........

there's just no way that blue line at 02:00 is 22 feet long, thats 6.7 meters or 7.8 yards. That part may also me very misleading because they might actually talk about the whole swing, from start to finish. In that case they did a bad job.

Well the driver is about 45" plus another 18" from bubba's arms to the rotation point. We know he rotate the club about 270 degrees (.75 of a circle), so lets estimate the curve: R=45+18=63" Distance= 2*R*Pi* 0.75=296.73"=24.73'. So the answer is: its possible to get 22 ft swing distance. 😉

and the type of shot youre hitting. but ex. Ernie else vs hunter mahan. ernie being the bigger man obviously. Ernies club head speed and ball speed are 113.3 and 168.27 respectively and hunter 112.05 and 166.15. what your saying is the speeds are very similar so ernie should blast it by hunter since he is bigger. total distance. ernie 294.8 hunter 293.1. ernies carry is about 6 yards longer but that is more because of lance angle: ernie 14.04 hunter 11.12.

16 people thought this was a baseball vid.

Anyone is capable of hitting a golf ball 300 yards Adam! The question is can you hit it to the spot your aiming every time?

Javier Valenzuela lol what? No. People with poor flexibility and motor coordination coupled with low amount of fast twitch fibers will never hit 300 yards in normal conditions no matter how much they want it. Even with perfect shot. Majority of PGA tour pros have avg drive of less than 300 so I don't think it's such an easy task.

Not everybody knows how to hit a golf club and getting even 200 yards would be a big achievement. I have a pretty good aim on my drivers. But only hit 200 yards.

a wide arc creates more clubhead speed yes but you need mass too..........that's why ladies don't play off the same tees as guys.........craig stadler was long, but didn't create alot of clubhead speed, you need MASS x Velocity.But that doesn't sell drivers.

it wouldn't be impossible because you need mass to create momentum, mass x velocity = momentum, rory creates momentum through his hips ,so did tiger, "fast hips"this screwed tigers knee up, clubhead speed is a factor but without mass it's nothing, have a look at any pro with driver, at impact face on, see where the weight is in relation to the ball, e.g two bullets one 0.05 kg the other 5 kg hit a wall at 1000 m/s which one will do more damage?

yea most big guys will hit it further but its because they can create more clubhead speed. ernie is a longer hitter im not arguing that my point is just they both had similar clubhead speeds in that example and they went about the same distance. where's the mass difference come in play? and he is carrying it farther because he has a higher natural launch angle. in that ex. ernis spin rate= 2566 rpm and hunters= 2486.6.

at 54 the stat says 152' degree shoulder turn NO NO NO THE PROTRACTOR IS NOT FLAT ITS ABOUT 45' TILTED TOO THE LEFT can you respond pls. the real angle is not even 100'

@AgencyEric

Obviously the protractor isn't flat...it needs to be perpendicular to the spine for an accurate measurement. Golfers maintain some shoulder tilt, so in this case Dustin's spine is tilted away from the target with the left shoulder higher than the right. The protractor is slightly tilted from level so it can be exactly 90 degrees to DJ's spine. I'm not quite seeing their 152, but it's certainly greater than 120

Okay, you clearly have no understanding of golf, math, or logic since you are unable to even explain offer a possible explanation as to why it would be nonsense and bullshit. As such, no point continuing to discuss further since you can't, or at least won't, even assemble coherent discussion statements.

Already throwing insults? Tsk tsk. In any event, I think it would be a fair assessment that I read the original comment, considering I responded specifically to your inquiry about the protractor not being flat. You said protractor was not flat, I explained why it wasn't flat and necessarily had to have a left-words orientation, as you need the protractor to be perpendicular to the spine to get an accurate measurement as the spine is the axis around with the shoulders rotate.

oh golf ........

i came here becuase when i think big hitters i think of baseball

dobbyn's club head speed is 161 mph sadlowski's club head is 140+ mph

dustin johnson is perfectly capable of the athletics required for basketball i would like to see you get within 30 shots of a pro golfer playing from their respective difficulty and you playing from the womens tees.

the bullet is not the ball............the wall is the ball, the bullet is the clubhead.....whoever holds the club has to generate momentum with mass and velocity, that's the trick, transferring your mass to the clubhead at maximum velocity with accuracy, have you ever swung easy and Nailed it farther than you anticipated?

i thought it was baseball

So you need golf hats while hitting inside at a lab?

@koe-masaoh

7 жыл бұрын

Garrett Schupp I think in front of TV camera, they must wear the hat to promote their sponsors.

so in theory if a 6 stone boy could swing at 113 mph he would be as long as else?

Haha he has clearly never had to try hit the ball far

half a millisecond is 0.0005 s, not 0.005 (5 milliseconds)

*looks at title* Hey look. A baseball or football video *sees golf* lame. *moves on*

Are you serious? I would love to see you play a round of golf.

ladies dont play back tees because just about all of them swing below 100 mph clubhead speed.

i hear what youre saying. but theres two things 1.) what im saying is it doesnt matter how you create it all that matters is that you can create the clubhead speed. I.E Jamie Sadlowski. 5 10 160 how does he hit it so far with so little mass? 2.) the problem with your example is all golfballs are the same they arent different sizes like the bullets. same with drivers. so if the mass of all the balls are the same the only thing left influencing hte distance is velocity if the club.

actually spin rate, launch Angle and quality of strike are all huge factors in distance.

@matthias19850 This is about. The PGA Tour , Jamie is not on the PGA Tour.

Watsons farmers tan . . . smh

I can hit as far as Dustin Johnson.....

but earmie only swings at 80% i've seen him nail it 400 that must have been a 100% the difference you are talking about could be down to spin rate, if earnie is carrying it further then that wi'll be due to the ammount of momentum he creates.............this is why TIMING is a factor,

and hipspeed........you need mass too it's just physics! tiger and rory had the fastest hips in the game,this creates momentum...............just try swinging with your hips............no arms.........watch that ball fly.........then slowly speed up your hips.........it works.........idrove a 350 par 4 i'm only 5 7" first time in my life

Just ask happy gilmore how he does it

@vgs44 Yea i bet if you went to a golf course and hit a tee shot, it would go about... 150, maybe 200.......... Feet not yards. I like to see you walk 18 holes in triple digit heat carrying about 30 pounds of clubs, balls, and whatever else. It takes skill to throw a touchdown pass, but it take more skill to hit the fairway off the teebox. 2 slight degrees off. And you end in the woods. Golf may not be the most athletic, but it definitely takes the most skill of any sport

i thought this was football

"YOU AMERICANS?" What's with all the hate? You don't have to be jealous.

Tiger

And how old are you?

thumbs up if you saw Bubba win!

rory mcilroy is 5 9 160 ..... SWINGSPEED

Shut up guys. I drive it about 240 and that's really long for my age

oops i thought every one on youtube had an IQ of over 30 OOPS

That isn't even remotely close to a 152˚ shoulder turn, more like 95-100.

bubba hits it longer because his swing is longer? bullshit...

possibly the dumbest question i've ever been asked

Five words.. I AM RICK JAMES, BITCH

Bubba and Dustin have horrible acuraccy in their shots

i thought it was baseball too

average amateur not tour player! (25%)

john, that is a terrible swing mate

...

@dunayea u mad?

fuk is this?! were the cool sports at?

exactly......comments from people who know nothing about the game at all. A game that has produced one of the all time greatest sportsman ever...Tiger Woods

you obviously have never golfed or golfed well before

jealous?

who else just clicked on a different video?

The narrator says "half a milisecond" but the number shown is 5 miliseconds (0,005 seconds) - guess the infographics guy is not too good at maths...
